Mason-Dixon ARRIVE is the only magazine dedicated to the lifestyle of suburban residents living in Baltimore County’s Central Corridor and Harford County’s affluent suburbs. Reaching a targeted demographic that is well employed, highly educated, owns their home, travels, dines out twice weekly and owns stock portfolios, MD ARRIVE penetrates the most sought-after zip codes.

Based on recent research, adults aged 45-65 prefer to read lifestyle magazine print editions, with the option for online readership. These online editions allow for a quick reference to an event, recipe or daytrip, but nothing replaces the tactile feeling of relaxing with a high quality magazine. We offer both options, and offer online subscriptions, which spread across many county lines. Publishing two editions, Baltimore County and Harford County, our combined readership is 100,000 adults.
